Italian Housekeeper Accidentally Disposes of €50,000 Hidden in Mattress

A housekeeper in Montebelluna mistakenly threw away a mattress containing cash and valuables, later recovered intact from a landfill.

The incident occurred in Montebelluna, a northern Italian town, where a housekeeper discarded what she believed was an old mattress.
The mattress, belonging to an elderly woman, contained approximately €50,000 in cash, jewelry, and credit cards.
The housekeeper, unaware of the hidden valuables, took the mattress to a local dump, thinking it was merely trash.
The elderly woman realized the loss a few hours later, prompting her daughter to contact the police for assistance.
Authorities successfully retrieved the mattress from the landfill, with all contents still intact and unharmed.
